Stopping a HAM

To stop the HAM, you must use either the ham_stop() function or the hamctrl utility. These are the only correct (and the only guaranteed) ways to stop the HAM.

The ham_stop() function or the hamctrl utility instructs a HAM to terminate. The HAM in turn first instructs the Guardian to terminate, and then terminates itself. To stop the HAM from the command line, use the hamctrl utility:

hamctrl -stop

To stop the HAM programmatically using the API, use the following functions:

/* terminate                     */
int ham_stop(void);
